LabelTrees

LabelTrees are how annotation labels are managed in LOST. The leafs of such a tree are the possible labels, an Annotator is able to use when annotating.

When creating an AnnotationTask, one or more nodes from a LabelTree are selected, making all their leafs available for the AnnotationTask.
